After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

Lu Tingchen gently rubbed the little guy's face with his fingers, his smile warm. "It seems Ranran likes it very much. Your second uncle made the right choice."

"Then these clothes of yours..." Lu Lingzhou picked up a piece of clothing, looking puzzled. It didn't look like clothes a little boy should wear.

"What clothes?"

Lu Tingchen turned his head and saw a sailor uniform hanging on Lu Lingzhou's finger. His expression froze, and he quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into his bag.

"It must have been my mom who put it there. She loves making all sorts of weird and wonderful things."

I'll talk to her about it in a bit.

She pulled out another bag. "This is what I bought. It's getting cold, so I bought Ranran a few lamb wool coats. They're very soft and look good on her."

She took out the clothes and unfolded them. The white lamb wool clothes, paired with her fair and tender little face, made her look like a soft and cute little dumpling.

"Huh?" Xiao Ranran tugged at the sleeve of the clothes, her eyes sparkling, as if to say, "Is this dress for me?"

Lu Tingchen bent down and pinched his little cheek. "Yes, it's for Ranran."

"Would you like to change into them?"

He washed all his clothes; they were ready to wear right away.

Little Ranran nodded her head, tugged at her clothes, and indicated that she wanted to put them on.

"Okay, then Second Uncle will change it for Ranran."

Taking Ranran from his brother's arms, Lu Tingchen picked up clothes and dressed the little one.

The soft little jacket made the little guy look even more adorable, especially with his cute little chubby cheeks.

"Wow, my Ranran is so well-behaved."

Lu Lingzhou glanced at him, his eyes softening. Hmm, he really was well-behaved, so well-behaved that it made one want to snatch him away.

The little guy, dressed in his new clothes, couldn't wait to show them to Mu Chen. He tugged at his clothes and staggered toward the flower room.

The greenhouse is located at the end of the right-hand corridor, not far away.

Lu Lingzhou watched the little guy steadily enter the flower room before turning his attention back to speak to Lu Lingzhou.

"Did your trip resolve the issue?"

Lu Tingchen: "It's resolved, nothing serious."

"That's good. I'm planning to go on a business trip and will take Xiao Guai with me."

He was genuinely a little uneasy leaving it here.

"Does Mr. Mu agree?"

Lu Lingzhou snorted coldly: "There's nothing I can do if you don't agree. I'm taking Ranran away, and no one dares to stop me."

One or two of them are unreliable, and leaving them here would only make him anxious and worried. It's better to keep him by your side.

"How long until you leave?"

"Leave tomorrow night, leave early."

We must sneak away without telling anyone, otherwise someone will definitely try to snatch the child!

However, if he knew he would pick up a troublesome guy later, he would never let Xiao Ranran go out with him.

Lu Tingchen: "Okay, I have no objection."

"I'll take the seafood to the kitchen and have the chef start cooking it."

"it is good."

Lu Lingzhou leisurely went to the flower room.

In the greenhouse, Xiao Ranran was showing Mu Chen her new clothes, "Guoguo, Liangliang, Yiyi."

Mu Chen immediately understood, "Yes, beautiful clothes, does the little one like them?"

"Porridge~"

Did you thank Uncle Lu?

Xiao Ranran froze, clutching her clothes, at a loss, "No, thank you."

As he spoke, he turned to leave, intending to thank Susu, but he bumped into Lu Lingzhou's leg and fell to the ground with a thud.

He stared blankly at the floor, then at Lu Lingzhou and Mu Chen who had helped him up, and then, as if remembering something, he burst into tears.

She pitifully nestled into Lu Lingzhou's arms, begging for a hug.

Lu Lingzhou thought he had hurt himself from the fall, so he quickly hugged him and comforted him.

"Did you hurt yourself? Let Daddy rub it for you. Don't cry. It's Daddy's fault for scaring you."

Xiao Ranran mumbled a few words, and Mu Chen, who understood them, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

I never expected that the Little Prince would have such a burden on his shoulders, and that he would even fake cry.

I fell on my butt before, and now I've fallen on my butt again. It's not that it hurts, but I feel a little embarrassed.

But Lu Lingzhou was comforting Xiao Ranran, so Mu Chen didn't say these words aloud.

Back in the living room, feeling embarrassed, Xiao Ranran huddled in Lu Lingzhou's arms like a quail, refusing to stick her little head out no matter what he said.

Lu Lingzhou hugged him and patted his back gently, showing no worries but rather enjoying himself.

He enjoys Xiao Ranran's dependence on him.

Instead, Lu Tingchen looked at Mu Chen with confusion and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Ranran?"

Mu Chen shook his head: "I don't know."

He had to protect the image of the Little Prince, so he couldn't say anything.

Unable to get an answer from him, Lu Tingchen had no choice but to try on his own.

I only have these two days left to play with the little guy. In a couple of days, he will go out with his older brother and I won't be able to see him anymore.

Sitting down next to Lu Lingzhou, Lu Tingchen reached out and tugged at Ranran's little hand. "Ranran, don't you want to play with your second uncle?"

His tone still carried a hint of disappointment and unhappiness.

Little Ranran slowly poked her head out, glanced at Lu Tingchen's sad face, and grasped his fingers with her little paws, "Susu."

"Oh, Uncle's here."

"Ranran, would you like to have your second uncle hug you? Your dad has to go upstairs for a video conference."

Lu Lingzhou glanced at him sideways, his gaze silently oppressive.

Who told you I was going to have a meeting?

A meeting out of nowhere?

Lu Tingchen felt the pressure of Lu Lingzhou's gaze, but he refused to look at Lu Lingzhou and reached out to hug Xiao Ranran.

As soon as Xiao Ranran heard that Lu Lingzhou was going to have a meeting, she happily climbed into Lu Tingchen's arms, continuing to act like a little quail, and didn't forget to stretch out her paws and wave, "Baba, bye-bye~"

puff-

Under the pressure of his gaze, Lu Tingchen chuckled and stopped, afraid of being kicked out.

"Ranran, come on, let's go to the yard to see the goldfish." Lu Tingchen picked up little Ranran and quickly slipped away.

Lu Lingzhou glared angrily at Mu Chen: "Has he gotten too big for his britches? How dare he spout such nonsense?"

Mu Chen quickly said, "I'm going to make milk for the baby," and then ran off.

Lu Lingzhou: ...

They've rebelled! They've all rebelled! They need to be punished! Neither of them are allowed to eat tonight.

The following afternoon, after dinner, Lu Lingzhou, along with Xiao Ranran and Muchen, as well as Li Rui and Mu Qing, boarded a helicopter to travel to the United States for business.

It was their first time on an airplane, and Xiao Ranran and Muchen were both amazed, pressing their faces against the window as they looked at the white clouds outside.

Is this the sky? It's so beautiful.

"Little one, look, doesn't that cloud look like a little turtle?"

Little Ranran stared at the white cloud with her big eyes and nodded: "Mmm, turtle."

"And there, it looks like a little lamb."

Lu Lingzhou sat in his seat, propping his forehead up as he looked at the two people by the window, but his gaze was mostly fixed on the little one in Mu Chen's arms.

"Come sit down quickly, don't wander off."

"What would you like to eat later?"

Mu Chen handed Xiao Ranran to Lu Lingzhou, sat down in his seat, and fastened his seatbelt. "I want to eat shredded pork fried rice."

Lu Lingzhou fastened Xiao Ranran's seatbelt and said, "Maybe not, but stir-fried pork rice bowl should be available."

"Okay then, either way is fine." He wasn't picky about food, and he thought that all the food on land had its own unique flavor and was delicious.

"So, little darling, what would you like to eat?"
